Full Blast, 1st at the Lost Pond Open Walking Shooting Dog

Full Blast, our 53 lb. young son of Ch. Pennstar, won the Lost Pond Open Walking Shooting Dog stake besting a strong field of 30 contenders.  Pro Dave Hughes, who has campaigned dogs for us for 20 years, came to us recently and suggested that we ought to get “Jeb” started as an all-age dog yet this spring in some quail shooting dog stakes.  “Jeb'”, after winning the cover dog derby award (Flanagan Award) last year was making his first open shooting dog start and an impressive beginning it was.  A report from one trialer who saw all the braces indicated that “Jeb” set a high mark in the first brace and it was not eclipsed.    He hunted particularly hard and drove with class and enthusiasm from one find to the next recording a total of three sharp finds pointed with arresting, straight-up style.   “Jeb” recently sired a litter of pups ex Mike Spotts’ winning Pennstar female, Jumpstart.  We have high hopes for this breeding.
